having lived for eight years in st louis i'm glad the cardinals won the world series. it's a baseball town with good folk and a federal reserve branch. i'd also like to accept guns and roses apology for puting fuck st louis on the inset of use your illusion.
ok so i got a little block goin on right now,
what do you do when climbing a mountain of karma, carry some stones to leave it taller for generations to come.
there was a saying on the bus, worrying is like praying for oral sex.
well dont fret, the worst case scenario is only your opinion.

this is kind of a political cartoon i'm not able to draw because i couldn't do it justice,
a map of iraq is spread out on the round table
surrounding the table stand gw, rummy, cheney, and cause i don't know who else to add, the statue of lady liberty
the bottom border reads september ten two thousand one
first remark from lady liberty,
'so mr secretary do you think we might be able to practice defense today? maybe tomorrow?'
retort from the vice prez
'sweet jesus it sure would be nice if we could use water boarding to quell questions.'

so i'm not able to shift into random overdrive at the moment. i was able to eat at mother's cafe today with my cousin. i had the spinach lasagne and there was this funny tiny piece of parsley adorning the thing, it was like a palm tree on a desert island. sometimes i feel like that little bit of parsley, a colorful adornment with mysterious purpose currently being devoured by all kinds of narly shit in my american colon. i also got in a swim in the springs and threw around the ball with a friend of mine. a few cartwheels in the grass and i've woken up the last two mornings on a bus in beautiful company. my dad is also doing better slowly but surly, i think he is the new definition of fortitude having endured three heart surgeries in one year. he also likes pluots a lot. it's been a good weekend and i feel extremely blessed.

i also picked up three aloe vera at the farmers' market on saturday, one of which went in the ground at my buddy's place in austin along with some agave. it was really nice to get in the dirt, really crucial, and aloe rocks, but not near as hard as dylan.

peace,
